Actor-director-producer Burt Reynolds and his ex-girlfriend Pamela Seals have decided to give up their legal battles against each other, instead settling the lawsuits they have filed, reports celebrity portal Hollywood.com.

In November last year Reynolds, who is currently starring in the hit movie "The Longest Yard", sued his girlfriend Seals, 49, for threatening to falsely accuse him of abuse if he didn't pay millions of dollars in extortion.

A day later, Seals sued Reynolds, 69, for abuse and broken promises.

But Reynolds' lawyer John McGovern said: "Neither side admits the allegations in the other's lawsuit, but both parties are committed to putting this matter behind them and moving on to whatever the future holds."
